    Young adult worker consumption of different-aged pollens ((a) 1d-old vs. 10d-old, b) 1d-old vs. 5d-old, c) 5d-old vs. 10d-old) presented in a dual choice assay.

    <p>* The amount of each stored pollen type consumed by cage workers varied significantly (*** p<0.0001) or did not vary significantly (NS) by a paired t-test (p<0.05). Error bars are S.E.</p

    Relative pollen cell emptying rate (RPCER) of different-aged stored pollen cells from colony frames during the last observation interval.

    <p>For each pollen-age class, the observed numbers of emptied and unemptied cells was compared against the numbers expected by pollen-age class abundance and overall emptying rate alone. Pollen-age classes sharing the same superscript did not significantly differ in their relative proportions of emptied and unemptied pollen cells as determined by post-hoc pairwise comparisons (chi-square test of independence, Χ<sup>2</sup><sub>total</sub>>9.323, df = 1, p < 0.00238 (Bonferroni-corrected significance level)).</p

    Total number of new stored pollen cells formed daily in six colonies during the 8d frame monitoring period.
